I’ve been playing The Case of the Golden Idol this week and I love how it doesn’t pull punches and how I actually have to figure things out without a multiple choice quiz.

A rarely mentioned cute little puzzle game that you might like is called Carto.

What are your favorite mystery/puzzle games that don’t spoon-feed you?

    I’ve also been playing The Case of the Golden Idol lately. I’m not usually a big puzzle player but it’s good. I’ve just got to Case 11 which seems like another step up in difficulty. I think it might be the last chapter. I enjoyed the way it started off as a really casual spot-the-item game and has really ramped up.

    You’re probably aware already, but the sequel, The Rise of the Golden Idol, was released a week or so ago. I’ve not played it yet, but likewise loved the original and its expansions, so I’m quite hopeful :)

    This would have to be Braid. They just remastered it recently when Netflix invested into them. Probably the toughest puzzle game I’ve played.
